Is it normal to be missing the teeth like this?

Friday, August 27th, 2010
Q.
I’ve just come back from my dentist after a chech up – my old dentist has switched to private and so it was a new person that I saw. He asked how long ago I had my bottom lateral teeth removed? I told him I’ve never had any teeth removed and then he said perhaps they just didn’t grow. He showed me a picture of a set of teeth that had four teeth in the middle with the canines either side and pointed out in a mirror that I’m missing two. I do have two gaps of 3 or 4 millimeters but definately not enough space to put two teeth into. I have all 4 top teeth between the canines. Is in normal to be missing teeth like this, no other dentist has mentioned it before.,

Yes it’s quite common and noth… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

How can the pressure be removed from a wisdom tooth to stop it from growing outwards?

Friday, August 27th, 2010
Q.
Hello, my boyfriends wisdom tooth is growing outward and into the cheek at the side. This causes him much pain on and off and has done for at least 5 years now. He has been to the dentist, but they said that they wouldn’t want to remove the tooth, because it could paralyse the face. Please can you tell me, can he have the tooth removed next to it, to take the pressure off the wisdom tooth and stop it growing into his cheek ? Many thanks, ,

My incisor teeth have become very sensitive. What can I do to protect them?

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
Q.
My front two incisor teeth have become very sensitive. This happened quite suddenly when I was at a cinema and eating sweets. The bottom lining of my incisor has become very sensitive, this sensitivity is exacerbated when I suck air through my teeth and I can feel the sensitivity. This occurred over the past few days and immediately I have switched to pro enamel toothpaste and I am going to make an appointment with my dentist about this. I am 20 years old, and while I have not taken great care in the past (I had 2 root canals) nowadays I am quite meticulous about my dental care, so this occurring now is quite baffling. I use an electric Oral B toothbrush and I don’t know the reason for this, has my enamel worn away due to excessive brushing or poor care taking. This sensitivity is heightened when I eat food which predominantly uses my incisors such as sandwiches or snacks. What should I do to protect my teeth?,
A.
You need to see your dentist, … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
